Acting on information received, officers raided the businesses – New York Nails on Queen Street, Rhyl, the Bengal Dynasty restaurant on North Parade, Llandudno and Cheeky Pizza takeaway on Colwyn Avenue, Rhos-on-Sea on Thursday.

At New York Nails three Vietnamese men aged, 19, 26 and 27 were found to be in the UK illegally having had their applications for asylum refused.

In the Bengal Dynasty Indian restaurant a 25-year-old Bangladeshi man, was found working in breach of his visa conditions.
